Even though the supreme court judges deferred to the lower courts to decide on Woyome, they fired a critical salvo against lawyers in the cases- Peasah Boadu for Waterville, Osafo Buabeng for Woyome, Tony Lithur for Austro Invest and maybe Ekow Awoonor who acted as sole mediator between parties with then AG Betty Mould Iddrissu.
The counsel for John Mahama,Tony Lithur, at the supreme court election petition case was part of the woyome scam that stole millions of Euros from Ghana. This is SICK- NDC must go.

THESE MARKET WOMEN AND MEN ARE GHANAIANS WHO AM SURE BELONG TO ALL POLITICAL PARTIES AND WOULD DEFINITELY LOSE RELATIVELY "BIG" INVESTMENTS DUE TO THESE MARKET FIRES. SO IF ONE PARTY DECIDES TO BURN THE MARKET IT IS A GRAVE SIN AGAINST HUMANITY. ON THE OTHER HAND, CAN'T THE GOVERNMENT SET UP SECURITY AT THESE PLACES? I THINK NPP HAVE MORE TRADERS THAN NDC, SO IF IT IS OUR PARTY WHICH IS RESPONSIBLE THEN WE ARE HURTING OUR OWN SUPPORTERS. I HOPE AM RIGHT.

The useless Deputy Information Minister announcement is just a joke. Why can't he name the people arrested? Are they youth? Whereby their names can't be publically reviewed due to the law.

The NDC authorities can't be serious because they forgot to arrest Rawlings for torching the state-owned Ridge bungalows he illegally occupied after leaving office, and also notoriously corrupt Accra Mayor, Oko Vanderpuye, who is behind all the market fires in Accra.

Rawlings set fire to the Ridge bungalows in order to get Mills to build him a presidential palace. Oko Vanderpuye has been setting fires to Accra markets in order to evict vendors and sell the land to foreign developers while getting his usual "10%" kickback!

You have about six people in custody...and they are still being screened...and they are arsonists. I thought the deputy would have kept his mouth shut until he was sure of his facts. When the Ministry of Finance burnt down, we were told there was someone in custody for that. Did the person die or still being screened?

So do the "American experts" have a security mandate as part of their remit? I understand from the report that the arrests were a "collaborative effort" between the American experts and National Security.
Secondly why does the Deputy Minister appear to vacillate on the number of "arsonists" arrested.Yesterday he appeared to have given a definitive number of 6, and today he "thinks" there may be more and he goes on to say he can't be more definitive. I do understand investigations are normally dynamic processes, but it does not help to give an impression of uncertainty. He should up his communications skills. All he appears to succeed doing is to muddle the waters and fuel speculation and rumour.

These NDC idiots always think in their feeble minds that Ghanaians are stupid. What happened to those people that Koku Anyidoho claimed Asem Darkey was going to reveal in his cocaine case? He said Asem Darkey was singing like a canary but in the end, the cocaine turned to baking soda. NDC people are just plain idiots.

THE DEPUTY MINISTER SAYS SOME PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ARRESTED FOR TRYING TO BURN OUR MARKETS AND SOME ELEMENTS OF A POLITICAL PARTY ARE SHAKING AND BECOMING HYSTERICAL AND WRITING DISTURBING COMMENTS ON THIS WEB. DOES THAT MEANS THAT PARTY HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE ARSON. PLEASE GOVERNMENT GO AFTER THEM AND WHEN YOU CATCH THEM SHOOT THEM ON SIGHT.

Mr Casava, I bet you that there is no arrest. It's just a plot to cure the own blunder made by the president that the fires are caused by arsonists. The NDC is a propaganda and Machiavellian organization.

“I can’t give the specific number, but I think there are more than six people arrested. In fact, they were arrested on different locations. There was even an attempt and some were planning to burn another market. I will not be able to give out the said market name, but the investigation is ongoing.

“…People have been arrested, and we have the names. They (National Security) are still screening those (Arsonists), and after, we will make the names available. I have the names and details on

It was reported that the National Security solely made the arrest of the arsonists, but in an interview with Asempa FM, the deputy Information Minister said: “it is a collaborative effort of the American experts and the National Security. Before the Americans came, I indicated in one of our press briefing that some investigation was commenced as the president [had] directed”.

YOU SEE EVEN HE IS CONTRADICTING HIMESELF WITH ALL THESE LIES - HAAABABABABAA NDC.

IF IT IS TRUE ARE YOU THE SPOKESPERSON FOR THE NATIONAL SECURITY OR THE POLICEFORCE TO COME UP WITH SUCH LOOSE TALK!!!!!

2.Hon. Murtala Mohammed has confirmed that about six (6) alleged arsonists arrested by the National Security were planning to again execute their mission by setting another market (name withheld) ablaze.

According to him, the six with names withheld were all halted on different locations by the security personnel and preparations are underway for them to appear in court.

i believe their time should be spent on formulating bills to 'sanitize' our media landscape that has been 'invaded' by hired 'attack dogs' masquerading as social commentators.
The NMC should be clothed with the necessary legal backing to sanction wayward media owners who have made it their business to promote political tension in the country.
